8 / 10Excellent·Sep 2026

Quiet, homely hostel. Had a whole room to myself which was nice. Towels provided, lots of free parking. Friendly staff member welcomed me

A little on the expensive side, but a good place to stop for a night after a long day driving

The shared space has a nice atmosphere.

Looks and feels like nothing has changed there since the 80s. Barely any power outlets in the room and the limited free internet you get feels like something from the past.
